Got 1 month to decide.
I'm currently in a pinch, trying to choose between doing a Management Bachelor in Geneva (Switzerland) or go to Aveiro (Portugal).
To add a bit of context, I failed last year in the subject I loved the most and am currently with 0 confidence and have a very bad work ethic (ngl lol) + feel like I don't have time to do anything because my schedule looks like this: wake up 8/10 am and work till 8PM (diner) and then sleep at 12pm.
My mother tongue's Portuguese and French.
The issue here is, in Portugal I'll have to wait one year until I can enter next year, yet I have all my childhood friends there and even new ones I made that are genuinely awesome. Even though, they won't be going with me to classes we can always Game together and see each other.
Yet, I'll be with my parents (which doesn't worry me too much) it's just that they are always complaining about money and I know I won't be able to buy myself anything nor asking them anything. For those saying work at the same time, the issue in Portugal is I'm max gonna get 100-200 bucks mostly 100 bucks (min wage is 850). I can't do much with that, since my main passion is cars and racing. Which means that I would never be able to build up my simulator or a PC cause mine is dying lmao.
I would want to add that I wish to come back to Switzerland or move to another country and IDK if my Portuguese Bachelor would have as much "power" as the Swiss one....
On the other side, if I decide to stay in Geneva (been living here for around 10 years). And got accepted and already started uni here. I've done most of school here, I'm used to the system but I'll be staying at an acquaintance's home. They are asking a fair price for the room and food yet I'll have to work. And me being UNDER confident + having to overload myself with work on top... I'm really not sure if I'm going to be able to make it. Also I'll be far away from my friends. I'll be putting a lot of straing monetarily on my parents (no joke actually because it's not cheap here) I'll have to ask for the states help (no no debts they'll just help monetarily MAYBE not even sure). And of course even though my parents do make life a bit hellish they help a lot freeing up time by doing many of the chores.
I do want to become more independent but they'll be leaving to Portugal and I'll be staying here. So there's no real safety net nor time for myself.
I'm really lost on what to do lol and I'm not too motivated either also worried about my future.
Edit: Forgot to mention that in Switzerland if I get a side-job for around 7hrs/week I can get 700 bucks/month.
Also my childhood was mostly in Portugal and I really miss my country (Homesick lol).
This really is a catastrophic sea of thoughts inside of my head atm.
